    Nice weekend Friday night overdid gardening plus long walk and as result backache and little or no sleep. Not helped by 2am phone call by some idiot trying to order a Kebab. My home phone number is annoyingly close to local kebab shop.

    Saturday day with Grandson. Did pop into asda for milk, treats plus got a new frying pan reduced to £5 Teflon desperate for new one. Only spent £8.50 in total. Grandson is like a duracell battery and I was on my knees.

    Sunday no spending shattered so besides dog walk this morning chilled out
    with bf at home today. I needed to rest so much lovely.

    Well August is here and really no debt repayment to report, have spent a bit on credit card so just getting back to square one. Will hide credit card rest of the month.

    Off to see Thin Lizzy tonight well they have renamed themselves as produced new music. Feeling a bit sad/nervous as going alone. Sure I will be fine when I get there. Did suggest to bf but no response but hey ho why should I miss out? Fairly local, ticket bought, driving so just water cost!

    Gutted still no lodger argh, need to get one soon or may have to move DF day.

    Stayed in last night so saved on petrol and drinks costs. My back wasn't right so now acting like a granny and abandoned gig. 4 hrs standing would have put it out for sure.
    Today still playing catch up getting my credit cards back to the level in my signature- close now only 16.44 difference.
    Happier mood today, sun shining, off this afternoon, garden and sunbathing well its free. Turned down lunch offer with daughter saving my pennies.
    One of my dresses on ebay is selling.
    Will list some other items on facebook later.

    Well not a bad weekend bit disappointed Hurricane Betha didn't take my old doors left on my drive away - think I have watched Twister too often.

    Well no spending yesterday, spoilt rotten by bf, lovely day out and meal out evening. Had a huge steak yum.

    Now just had an invitation to anniversary bash, family member. Just the other end of the country and next weekend. Feel I should go to catch up with my family without it being a funeral but a good 5-6hrs driving. Will sleep on it. Pity we live so far apart, if I can get dog sitter could go for a few days break.

    Oh decisions decisions

    I am envious of your consistently paying off the debt, even with a small amount here & there, it will all add up very quickly! I don't have the guts to do that just in case I end up short on something else!

    Keep plodding! :)

    Thanks t2rry. I haven't got any back up funds so probably bit silly but it stops me spending it. Keep going your doing well takes time but it will be worth it in the end. When's your wedding?
